Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for music during dinner?
Music can welcome guests, accompany selected parts of dinner or become a short highlight between courses. We coordinate the sets with the host and catering team.
Will the music leave room for conversation?
Yes. We discuss the room, guest numbers and preferred atmosphere, then adapt the repertoire and sound level so that the music complements the evening.
What if the venue has no piano?
Solo cello may suit the setting, or we can discuss SwissDuo with an electric piano. Instrument transport, space and power requirements are agreed in advance.
